Skillet – Breaking Free lyrics

[Verse 1: John Cooper]
This night, nothing like any other night, can’t take anymore
You say I’ll never be nothing, cause us suffering, something to ignore

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper]
These things you say
You make me weak but I have changed
No way, I am stronger than before

[Chorus: John Cooper + Jen Ledger]
I will break, breaking free, coming alive
I broke these chains, never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)
Break, breaking free, one last time
No matter what they say, I will never change
And I know I can break (break) break (break)
Look out, I’m breaking free

[Verse 2: Lacey Sturm + Jen Ledger]
This is who I am
You don’t understand, you never even try just when
I think you’re listening
Drop defence, you stab and twist the knife

[Pre-Chorus: John Cooper, Lacey Sturm + Jen Ledger]
These things (these things) you say (you say)
They don’t hold me, I’m not your slave
No way, I’m stronger than before

[Chorus: John Cooper, Jen Ledger, Both]
I will break, breaking free, coming alive
I broke these chains, never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)
Break, breaking free, one last time
No matter what they say, I will never change
And I know I can break (break) break (break)
Look out, I’m breaking free

[Bridge: John Cooper]
Overcome, chains undone
No fear can hold me down
I know I can rise above it
Overcome, chains undone
No fear can hold me down
I know I can rise above it

[Chorus: John Cooper and Jen Ledger]
I will break, breaking free, coming alive
I broke these chains, never be afraid to live my life (never be afraid to live my life)
Break, breaking free, one last time
No matter what they say, I will never change

[Outro: John Cooper and Lacey Sturm]
And I know I can break (break) break (break)
I will break (I will break)
Look out, I’m breaking free
I’m breaking free
Breaking breaking, this is freedom, this is freedom
I am breaking free
